Du Qianli dragged his tired body back home. As a habit, he went to his son's room first, but he saw that the room was cool and there was no sleeping figure on his son's little bed.
This was the second night that his son had left him, and he still wasn't used to it.
He turned off the light and returned to his room. He threw himself on the sofa without turning on the light. Only the moonlight from the floor-to-ceiling window shone in, illuminating the deserted room.
Du Qianli closed his eyes, and a picture automatically appeared in front of his eyes. The son's small body was curled up in his mother's arms, Bai Shuang protected him with his thin body, and the mother and son slept sweetly and warmly.
Only without him.
My heart began to hurt again, and my fingertips tightened slightly.
Maybe in this life, he would never have the chance to sleep with mother and son hugging each other.
Sorry, Shuang'er.
Sorry, Nono.
All I can give you is to reunite your mother and son.
At the same late night, Bai Shuang had not yet fallen asleep.
She was lying on her side on the bed, curled up in her arms was Nono, who was already sleeping soundly. The little guy was like a little kitten. He would find the most comfortable sleeping position in her arms. Even if he fell asleep, he would still be there.
Pull her finger.
Bai Shuang looked at this miniature version of the little man and couldn't help but think of Du Qianli.
The day she first met Du Qianli, he also looked like an abandoned big cat. He sat on a remote chair in a corner of the park for the whole day, and she also hid in another corner by some strange combination of circumstances, watching him for the whole day.
In the end, she couldn't hold back her compassion and bought some bread to feed the stray cat.
The big cat had been hungry for a day, and seemed to have abandoned its vigilance due to the temptation of food and accepted her feeding.
They had a late-night dinner together, but later it was too late, so she asked Da Mao: "Why don't you go home?"
The big cat said: "I have no home."
She thought to herself that it was indeed a big stray cat.
So she took him home. She was an intern in a hospital at that time, and her salary was very low. She could only afford to rent an ordinary small house. The house only had one bed and a sofa that could barely accommodate the big cat.
The big cat didn't mind it at all, so he curled up on the sofa and slept all night.
When she went to work the next day, the big cat hadn't woken up yet, so she left the spare key with the big cat. Since there was nothing valuable to steal at home, she felt relieved leaving the big cat at home.
Thinking about it now, I was really naive at the time. I never thought that even good-looking people could be bad people.
People really can't do good things easily. Later, she imagined countless times that if she hadn't been kind enough to take in the big cat that day, there wouldn't have been the joys and sorrows that followed.
But there would be no more little kitten in her arms. Bai Shuang looked at her son's sleeping face and felt so soft in her heart.
The next day, Bai Shuang went to work, and Nono had a nanny at home to take care of him. Since it was already Friday, Bai Shuang simply let him rest for two more days and wait until the weekend before sending him to school.
She was in the outpatient clinic today and had a break at noon. Xiao Zhiyi came to have dinner with her. The two sisters were too lazy to go out to eat, so they went to the hospital canteen.
After the meal, Xiao Zhiyi said she had something to talk to Bai Shuang, and the two sisters went back to Bai Shuang's outpatient lounge, closed the door, and Xiao Zhiyi showed a serious expression.
"What's wrong?"
Bai Shuang asked looking at her being so serious.
Xiao Zhiyi took Bai Shuang's hand and asked, "Second sister, do you know how Du Qianli's mother died?"
"Isn't it a car accident?"
Bai Shuang only heard about this from Du Qianhe last night.
"It's true that it was a car accident, but it may not have been an accident."
Xiao Zhiyi said.
Bai Shuang's heart skipped a beat, and the hand held by Xiao Zhiyi tightened: "What do you mean?"
"Doctor Du said it might be a man-made accident."
As Xiao Zhiyi spoke, he told Bai Shuang everything Du Qianhe told him on the phone last night.
After hearing this, Bai Shuang was shocked and speechless for a while.
After Du Qianhe told her about Du Qianli's life experience last night, she was already shocked. She didn't expect that he had another hidden secret about his mother's death when he was young.
Bai Shuang felt sorry for Du Qianli almost subconsciously, it was almost an instinctive reaction.
"Second sister, Du Qianhe told me this because he hopes that I can tell you, and then you can persuade Du Qianli to turn around and not do such dangerous things.
But I feel that no one will give up easily against a hatred as big as the murder of one’s mother, and no one is qualified to persuade others to give up.
But I still chose to tell you, not to let you persuade him, but to hope that you will no longer be worried about the separation from him. At least Du Qianhe's words can prove that Du Qianli truly loved you and that he is with you.
When we were together, I never deceived your feelings."
Xiao Zhiyi also thought about it for a long time last night. Maybe when something happened to him, both men and women would subconsciously choose to let the other person live instead of dying together.
She should also be more tolerant towards Du Qianli.
Bai Shuang didn't speak for a long time. Xiao Zhiyi felt that she might need to stay by herself for a while, so she quietly left the lounge without saying anything more.
Bai Shuang was a little absent-minded throughout the afternoon. After get off work in the evening, she took a taxi home, but somehow she asked the driver to take her to Qihe Group.
But when she arrived at the gate of Qihe Group, she didn't know what she was doing or what she could do.
She sat in a daze on the flower bed at the door, just like the big cat sitting alone on a chair in the park.
The employees of Qihe Group have already got off work. Only Du Qianli is still working overtime in the president's office. From the first time the lights come on to the nightfall, Du Qianli has been burying his head in front of the case. By the time he finishes his work, the hour hand has already pointed to eight o'clock.
After a busy day, Du Qianli felt uncomfortable all over. He stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to stretch his muscles and overlook the night view outside the window. Then his vision was frozen by a blurry figure.
He was a little unsure, fearing that he would see her wrongly because the floor was too high, but how could he see her wrongly? Even if it was just a blurry figure, he would not mistake her.
But how could she be downstairs at Qihe Group, and how long had she been sitting there?
Why is she still so stupid? She is exactly the same as before. He sat in the park for a whole day, so she stupidly sat with him for a whole day, thinking that he didn't know.
Later, she foolishly took him home without fearing that he was a bad person. When will his Shuang'er become smarter?
He wanted to hug her and tell her how much he missed her and loved her, but he couldn't. He had already come so far. If he gave up halfway, both she and his son would only be in more danger.
Now that the Su family is protecting their mother and son, he can feel completely at ease.
And as long as he stays far away from them, he can best protect them.
